(Episode 1) This is the first episode of this new monthly series that I’m doing. That is Video Game Genre because we have SO many video games put in a category where they have a lot of similarities and should not be ignored. The first episode of Video Game Genre is my favorite genre in gaming; 3D Platformers/Platform Games. 1) This is where I first discuss about the brief history from where the genre originated and was created for what it is today. 2) What every 3D Platformer has in common that made it a 3D Platformer. 3) Mention the pro & cons 4) And talk about my overall opinion of 3D Platformers, or Platform games in genreal. For those who waited for this video, sorry for the delay, but this video took me an entire week to do so if I miss anything, don’t bother to mention it. I’ll be doing more of video game genres videos in the coming future, not a weekly thing, but rather wait for a new episode of this series for a month or two. Hey, maybe while I’m at it, maybe I can do some reviews on the games that are in this video that I haven’t already done yet. =) So if you liked this video give it a thumbs up and share this video to someone who likes Platformers or someone who hasn’t got into it yet. Maybe in the future, we would have just as many 3D Platformers like in the 90′s & early 2000′s. =)
awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree for 101% (sorry I’m bad at math)
Hellyeah man! This vid is awesome, I love platformers and this video reminded me why! Thanks for the video. Also yes do a top 20 platformers!
This video is amazing. I really liked it. Keep it up!
I love Platformers and RPGs
they need more games like assassin’s creed… btw i was wondering how i could be a guest star on your podcast
@SK1RATE I like Banjo Kazooie better because it isn’t too complex like DK64 because there are so many things to collect that it made me not give the credit that most people does. Most of all BK is more fast paste, but the biggest flaw is when you die or exit a level, every one of those collectible notes are restarted and forces to recollect them which was a BIG hassle. In in deciding which do I like the best I would have to say BK overall. =)
@gexup Yes, a Top 20 3D Platformers video would be awesome.
Wich (did I spell that right?) one do you like better? Banjo Kazooie or dk64.
Mine is b and k. but that’s because it was my first video game. if you say dk64, trust me, i’ll understand.
@gexup YES! that would be great!
great video, i really miss platformers, i grew up with mario 64, banjo, dk, and many more!
i feel that platformers require alot of skill, and wish people would get over shooters and return to platformers!
check out sesslers soapbox on platformers if you don’t agree!
yes that is it !
3D platformers is my favourite game genre of all time!
@333alegreto333 Just wondering is that the game were you play as a cat who has his hameland invaded by rats and gorillas?
Great video Gexup! 3D platformers were the for genre of video games i was introduced to. Many of them like spyro and crash represent my childhood in gaming. When looking at gaming as a hole 3D platformers do come out as one of the most modern genre so I dont see why they hav died out so quickly. Anyway hope you can do a episode on RPGs a genre i hav become a large fan of when platformers declined.
P.S what is the game your showing at 3:59 to 4:07 Ive never played it is it any gd?
I hope that Final Fantasy Fanboy won’t bother you again
I think uncharted is more of a cinematic platformer (a sub genre in 2-D platformers)
Done in 3-D.
do you know a game called Legend Of Kay ?
Perhaps its time to take things into our own hands.
i miss platformers when i was a kid its all i would play but now i dont have any platformers well i have one but it sucks and i dont have the console to play it i need to find a good platformer on the xbox 360 since my ps3 was stolen
@gexup well why not just put all rpg types in one video rpg, action rpg, rpg shooters, also we all know what the prime rpg shooter is i dont even need to say it (Drinking nuka cola)
@gexup I dislike rpg shooters, or shooters with rpg elements. Always seems like im spending too much time to maximize my stats, and not enough time enjoying the gameplay and the competitive online.
awesome gexup!!! hope you do FMV GAMES!! lol no just a bad joke
but way not RTS games like Impossible creatures and starcraft
or pussel games like tetris or pussel link and text based adventure games
there are so many genre to pick from =D
I love 3D platformers, I hate how they are over-shadowed by over rated shooters like Halo and Call of duty.
I’ve been trying to save up heaps of money for some new releases coming out in the next few months after that I’m going to save up some cash and buy myself some old 3D platformers that I haven’t played in YEARS!
Conkers Bad Furday here we come!
One problem with this video although, How could you put the Toy Story 2 game in the bad movie games when that game is AWESOME! XD
another great video. you’re right, 3D platformers are one of the most important genres of all time
